Topic: Is OS X 10.4.7 version of ruby still broken?

I am new to both Ruby on Rails world and the OS X world. I have read that Ruby that ships with OS X is broken but all the wright ups seem dated (old). Is Ruby still broken in the latest version of OS X? I would like it if I would not have to go thru all the gyrations to fix Ruby if possible. Thanks

I'm assuming it is as I haven't heard otherwise. I know it is broken in 10.4.6 and below. I would just follow these instructions.

It was fixed in 10.4.6

The version of Ruby that shipped on Mac OS X Tiger prior to v10.4.6 did not work well with Rails. If you're running an earlier version of Tiger, you'll need to either upgrade to 10.4.6 or upgrade your copy of Ruby to version 1.8.4 or later using the open source distribution.
